Chinese sellers, I don't trust. I once got a suspicious Bulma from them a while back and I was just barely able to sell it to someone else. Yeah, they’re almost always bootleg knockoffs. Not all of them are like that but the $35 price tag gave it away. And you have no use for it because they’re so shoddily made the joints snap in half as soon as you take them out the package, so you can’t even use them for custom fodder unless you’re really creative. Personally I don’t mind buying broken figures. Not severely broken but if there’s some defects then I can fix them. I’m a broken shell of a man myself so I have sympathy for broken things 🥲

I hope Cheelai is given a release date soon. My Broly figure is very lonely.

WOO!! For under 250 I just scored 3 Figuarts, I'm a happy camper.
Bulma - Adventure Begins Vegeta Super Hero (He looks awesome!) and Anya Forger Uniform Ver. from Spy X Family (I wanna pose her getting threatened by Mecha Frieza and Cold once they arrive lol)

Makes me wonder if other Namekians could go Orange if they got as powerful as Piccolo.

Unpopular opinion: I prefer Gigachad Piccolo over Beast Gohan. But the power scaling is very inconsistent at this point so much so that the writers themselves can’t answer who’s on par with who anymore. I feel like they once again written themselves into a corner by bringing back Freeza as the “strongest” so now they need time to figure out what comes next, Goku has to achieve yet another form beyond Ultra Instinct which mind you was touted as the “ultimate battle form” in the Tournament of Power, guess it’s not anymore, which is why they’re adapting Super Hero into the manga & taking their sweet ass time.

It's not unpopular at all, crisis ! I think he looks totally awesome. Saiyans, and Frieza, we're used to them finding new forms all the time. Piccolo never really got anything till now.

Just spent an exorbitant excessive extravagant amount of money on plushes and Switch games from Japan. Don't ask how much. Currently hoping and praying the event exclusives and Toyotaro Goku won't be too crazy expensive and will be available for a reasonable amount of time.
I missed out on all the original UI Gokus, so I'm looking forward to this one. And I don't much care for the new Majin Vegeta, since I recently picked up Demoniacal Fit's version, but damn do I want those effect pieces. >~< Vegeta's super tempting but I don't know how easy it would be to sell a figure on its own without its accessories, even if it IS sought after. I also kinda want the Raditz set since I never picked up his original run, but I know he wouldn't really fit into any shelf I already have planned... I hope I can knock some sense into myself soon and stick with my original plan of just getting the Gohan set and nothing else!

I just splurged on a bunch of Switch games as well! Mostly 2D side scrollers. I’m taking a break with Okami (I’ve been stuck at this one area for weeks & it’s super frustrating), currently playing through this game called After Image, and have Getsu Fuma Den next.

I'm going to get on the phone tomorrow and call my local GameStop. Legendary Super Saiyan Goku is up for preorder there, so I'm jumping on it!
That'll make SEVEN DBZ Figuarts I'll have on backlog hahah.
Now come on, King Cold!

Toitles & Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta Super Saiyan arrived on the same day, and I gotta say, I like Toitles more. Very thicc thighs, the soft rubber cape was a wise decision & I wish every previous SHF had the same material in their outfit (I’m looking at you, Whis)
I would love to have his henchmen but I don’t think any merchandise even exist for them.

crisis Makes me wonder, and hope, will King Cold have a similar material appied to his cape, or will it be more like Piccolo's? And I don't hold out hope for Turles' henchmen. I kinda wonder if Garlic Jr. and HIS men may get made?

Don't know if this has been posted already but the UI Goku is on P-Bandai, says he comes with an encyclopedia book thing on the history of the figuarts line and has interviews and stuff I didn't know he was going to get released online lol, he was made for a magazine thing in Japan right? I've lost track of these non standard releases p-bandai.com/us/item/N2684668001001
